- The biggest news this month was the opening of the Donkey Kong Country expansion of Super Nintendo World and Universal Studios Japan. This long awaited expansion opened on December 10th, and has had rave reviews from visitors. While POVs of the Mine Cart Madness coaster, look fun, but not super thrilling, the feedback on the ride has been very positive. Similar to the Mario Kart ride that anchors Super Nintendo World. This is not a thrill attraction, it is a family attraction. The best thing from what I can see from this expansion, is just adding space to Super Nintendo World. - Here in Australia we have had two massive openings in the last month, with both Movie World and Dreamworld adding their new lands, the Wizard of Oz Precicnt and Rivertown. - Starting with Movie World's new precinct dedicated to the Wizard of Oz, it opened on the 20th of December, without a soft opening period, with it's two new coasters: - Kansas Twister: A Vekoma Family Boomerang Racer, twin tracks with a top speed of 58km/h and a 95 cm (37-inch) height requirement - Flight of the Wicked Witch: A Vekoma Suspended Family Coaster, with a top speed of nearly 67km/h and 105 cm (41-inch) height requirement I've seen really mixed reviews of the lands so far. People have been damning for the lack of shade in the outside portion of the land, which is a danger for any Summer opening of a Theme Park land in Australia. They have routinely praised the indoor queue elements of the two rides. The rides themselves haven't been big hits, but I'm going to hold my judgement on them for now. - Over at Dreamworld, we have seen on the 23rd the opening of Rivertown. This new land takes the place of ABC Kids World, that kind of half merged into Kenny and Belinda's Dreamland when Dreamworks IP licencing deal was finished. Amusing that are of the park was originally known as Rivertown, so it's kind of return. Not really though. I'll get to that in a second. The new land brings one new, and one completely refurbished attraction. The new attraction Jungle Rush Vekoma switchback coaster with a low 95 cm (37-inch) height requirement, and high top speed of 80 Kmph. This is the first of it's kind of coaster in the world. The second attraction Murrissippi Motors, is a significant revamping of the Vintage Cars, that were previously on the other side of the park. - Elsewhere in theme Parks, Disney has announced that beloved Australian cartoon dog Bluey is coming to Disneyland and Walt Disney World, as well as being added as a meet and greet to the Australian sailings of the Disney Cruise Line from next month. This comes on the back of Bluey's World, opening here in Brisbane at the start of November. Exactly what is going to happen at Disneyland and Walt Disney World, remains to be seen. I would expect to see meet and greets happening fairly quickly. - Universal Orlando has filed permits for Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit to be removed, and replaced with a proposed new attraction. They have stated the existing ride will close in September 2025. The submitted plans, showed that the entire ride footprint plus some backstage area's near the New York area of the park, have been marked for the removal and replacement permit. The plans are obviously silent on what will replace the ride, but it is possible that this new area, might mean that the ride replacing it could be entered to from the New York area, rather than the current entrance near Minions Land at the front of the park. The wild speculation at this point, is that it could be a long awaited Ghostbusters attraction, running out of the New York section. - Disneyland have opened a new Haunted Mansion themed gift show, Madame Leota's Somewhere Beyond, which went in the space of the former Splash Mountain Fastpass distribution area. - Six Flags has submitted plans this week to "ALTER" rather than "Demolish" their "KINGDA KA/ ZUMANJARO" rides, which have been announced as being removed.

In today's episode, we will be discussing Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit at Universal Studios Florida. Rockit is a technologically impressive coaster, but is quite polarizing among coaster enthusiasts. While some say it has a thrilling layout mixed with great music, others would rather ride Woody Woodpecker's Nuthouse Coaster. Regardless, the ride was the first to feature several unique coaster elements as well as some brand new technology never before seen on a coaster. To this day, the attraction continues to draw in large crowds and is a hit among the GP. Twitter: twitter.com/airtimetraveler Instagram: instagram.com/airtimetraveler

É impossível pensar em Orlando e não lembrar dos seus magníficos resorts, dos encantadores parques de diversão e atrações que magnetizam turistas do mundo inteiro. Entretanto, com a pandemia do novo coronavírus, esses pontos turísticos precisaram ficar fechados e passaram por algumas transformações. Inicialmente, todos nós achamos que seria uma necessidade de meses, mas após 1 ano de pandemia, sabemos que é preciso seguir em frente com muita atenção, criatividade e responsabilidade. E para falar sobre como está sendo administrar parques temáticos diante de várias medidas de restrições, o Seu Podcast de Turismo conversou com Marcos Barros, vice-presidente Internacional de Vendas para América Latina no Universal Orlando Resort. Marcos Barros - vice-presidente Internacional de Vendas para América Latina no Universal Orlando Resort Fechados pela primeira vez em março de 2020, os parques da Universal são um dos mais famosos do mundo. Com atrações inesquecíveis, como o Beco Diagonal da saga Harry Potter, o complexo turístico nunca se viu em uma situação tão delicada como no ano passado. Agora, 1 ano depois, os famosos parques foram reabertos, mas com algumas regras diferentes. "O visitante precisará seguir os procedimentos que estão alinhados às diretrizes do CDC, como a triagem, distanciamento e higienização. Além disso, reduzimos a capacidade diária de visitantes no Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure e Volcano Bay, além disso, a partir de  agora qualquer pagamento deve ser realizado sem papel moeda e seguindo a política do sem contato", explica Marcos Barros. O funcionamento Algumas atrações, como a Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit e The Incredible Hulk, já voltaram a funcionar com capacidade total, e grandes projetos que são aguardados retomaram com suas operações, como é o caso da construção da Epic Universe, quarto parque temático do complexo. "A volta do funcionamento dos nossos projetos ocorre, principalmente, pela cooperação das pessoas, que estão seguindo as regras de distanciamento, do aferimento da temperatura e do uso de máscaras", destaca Marcos, que fala sobre as novas implementações. "Ainda é muito difícil conseguir ficar de máscara por longas horas. Por isso criamos um espaço, o U Rest, uma área segura e isolada onde as pessoas podem remover as suas máscara por alguns minutos. Outra novidade é que o visitante pode fazer o pedido da comida e bebida pelo aplicativo, evitando assim a aglomeração", diz o vice-presidente.   Quer saber mais sobre a Universal Orlando?

This week, we answer your questions on: Universal partner hotel benefits, what songs we want to see on Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit, and how necessary it is to speak English to enjoy Universal Orlando's experiences.

02/13/20 - In this episode, Craig and Ryno answer your questions about Universal Orlando, including potential attractions, changes to Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit, Butterbeer, and more!

While on holiday in Orlando, it quickly became apparent that the good, the bad and the ugly side of technology were available for visitors. The Orlando Slingshot ride has become a viral success after it caught the imagination of users on social media and the videos of people riding it being seen by millions worldwide. Riders are given a USB wristband containing a video of their ride so they can share their experiences. Meanwhile, Universal Studios seem to confuse visitors with their locker system before allowing them to enter the line for the Hulk Ride. If you make it onto the Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit, you can also buy video footage of your experience and gain Social Media kudos points. But if you buy it and want to share it straight away, you would be sadly be disappointed as it's only available on DVD! What's all that about? At Universal, you go to a ride only to be turned away and told to hire a locker which has a long line of people scratching their heads trying to get to grips with the system while techies get frustrated at behind them. But this is the point, the world is not full of techies and it should not be designed for them. Simplicity is the key to everything. Predictably, Disney seems to be stepping up to the mark and are leading the way to create a pure friction and painpoint free world across all of their parks. Swiping your wrist against a Mickey Mouse mouse sensor to open your hotel room, get immediately onto a ride via a fast pass, pay for your food or send photos of your day directly to your phone, that is a universal language that we all get. However, Universals Volcano Bay is attempting to raise the bar in waterpark tech with TapuTapu wristbands will be able to alert riders when it's time for them to ride, something that the current generation of MagicBands can't do.

03/26/15 - In this episode, the buzz is all about metal detectors being tested at Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit and a malfunction at The Incredible Hulk Coaster. Also, we tackle the details behind the Universal Express Pass and discover Easter at Universal.
